West Oaks School

West Oaks School is a Special Educational Needs School (SEN) for pupils aged 2 to 19 and was established in 1977 in Boston Spa, near Wetherby. Our current provision is based across two sites: Woodhouse Learning (LS6 2ST) and Boston Spa Learning (LS23 6DX). In 2022, we developed a third site, the Headingley Learning (LS6 1BP) campus on Buckingham Road. West Oaks provision for Early Years is based at Woodhouse Learning and 16+ provision is currently based in specialist facilities at both Woodhouse and Boston Spa Learning. The third site in Headingley is for pupils aged 5-16. It was developed because of the popularity of the school, as SEN places are heavily oversubscribed. West Oaks has been judged by Ofsted to be outstanding in all areas in 2007, 2012 and 2017.

Headingley Learning, on the old Rose Court site, presents a real opportunity to provide further high-quality SEN provision in Leeds, whilst retaining as many of the Grade II listed features of the building as possible. The campus has real character and eventually will educate approximately 120 West Oaks pupils. New therapeutic and training facilities will be created to complement the class spaces, outside play areas, grassed sports pitch, interactive zone, activity zone, exhibition space, enterprise zone, which will help with our plans to integrate into the Headingley community.
